The house flooded again. Rob and I spent a fair portion of the flood event digging a drainage ditch--he did most of the digging, I whacked at the ground cover cloth with rusting sheers, it was pouring rain, it was pretty terrible--which significantly reduced the amount of flooding that happened. The flooding was Wednesday, and as of Friday, we're already down to only a few giant fans and one giant dehumidifier.

So, you know. Same old, same expensive old.

We're trying to get professionals in to produce real drainage for the problem area. The big fancy company can't even sent someone out to give us a quote until July 28th, so we may go with a less fancy company. Namely, a guy that another guy knows, who can do the whole job for us.

Can't really do any worse than our 'We have a shovel! And it is raining! Go!' version, so. Worth a try.
